5 best flooring contractors in London for a stunning home upgrade
Whenever I have visitors over, I go all out—coffee brewing, lit candles, and some chill background music sets the vibe. Gotta make the place feel nice, right?
Well, when my parents came to visit, I thought I had everything covered. I was ready to impress them with my “responsible adult” life.
But nope. After a quick look around, they hit me with, “These floors could use a bit of a refresh, don’t you think?”
Fueled by price and the need to prove to them I am a responsible adult, I called up a few friends and we went on a mission to find the best flooring contractors in London.
It took some digging (who knew London had this many flooring contractors?), but we’ve managed to narrow our list to just the best of the best.
Here’s who made the cut.
| How much does flooring cost in London? On average, flooring costs in London range from £20 to £120 per square meter, with higher-end materials and intricate installations costing more. The cost varies depending on the material, labour, and project size. |
1. London Flooring Fitters
Address: 179 Battersea High St, Battersea Park
Phone: +44 7984 040976
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8 AM – 9 PM
- Saturday: 9 AM – 5 PM
- Sunday: Closed
We looked at the portfolio of London Flooring Fitters, and they seem to really know their stuff when it comes to high-end flooring. They specialise in luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) and vinyl flooring, so you might want to consider them if that’s what you’re looking for.
It’s also a solid stamp of approval that they’re certified installers for brands like Amtico, Karndean, and Polyflor. These are some of the most popular brands, so we were intrigued.
We got to talk to them. Their team is fully qualified and holds specialist certifications and City & Guilds NVQs. It’s also reassuring that they’re Construction Skills Certification Scheme(CSCS) health and safety registered.
During our undercover consultation, their custom approach stood out. They’re open to creative designs and fully tailor their service to your needs if you want something beyond the standard flooring installation.
They even back up their work with a lifetime guarantee on full installations, which says a lot about their confidence in quality.
Most customers appreciate their punctuality, professionalism, and attention to detail. One customer mentioned the workers arrived on time even when the rain was pouring the day of the work.
But not all experiences have been smooth. Some clients have dealt with last-minute cancellations and scheduling issues. This can be frustrating especially when you’re relying on a project being done on time.
We couldn’t be happier to have chosen them
“We contacted Steven as in the property we bought recently we modified our kitchen and we had a square without a Floor. He’s been great, Polite and easygoing from booking the appointment to explain us what was going on. We Couldn’t be happier to have chosen them and obviously the Result. these guys need 7 Stars out of 5 if was down to us. Keep up the brilliant work.”

They went above and beyond to make sure that it was done in a quick time frame
“We had a tricky remedial project and after searching all over Steven and his team confidently took it on and did a great job for us. They went above and beyond to make sure that it was done in a quick time frame. I would highly recommend London Flooring Fitters, and would gladly use them again.”

2. Aafloors
Address: 35 Muswell Ave, Muswell Hill
Phone: +44 7427 978731
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7 AM – 7 PM
Unlike general builders who might offer flooring as an extra service, AA Floors focuses entirely on wood. Customers who want alternatives like tile, laminate, or vinyl would need to look elsewhere.
We talked to them about their process and they’ve got a mix of traditional and modern techniques. They’re a great choice whether you’re looking to match existing floors or start fresh with a new finish.
Durability and safety are also a big part of their approach. They offer anti-slip finishes like Bona Traffic HD Anti-Slip and their own Aafloors Prime Seal Finish. These are great options if you’re looking to add extra grip in areas like kitchens or bathrooms.
One thing customers consistently praise is how easy they are to work with. They’re quick with quotes, transparent about pricing, and keep clients updated throughout the process.
People also love the professionalism of the fitters, who are not only skilled but also tidy and respectful of their space. Many customers say the end result has completely transformed their home, which speaks volumes about the quality of their work.
The team was polite and clear about the process
“The team did a great job restoring our old floors – they look amazing now, and I enjoy them every day. The team was polite, clear about the process, and sent updates after each day of work. They also helped fix some mistakes from the tile installers, making the doorstep look much better. Highly recommend!”

Their work is meticulous and we are super happy with the outcome
“Arnis and his team are brilliant. They did a fantastic job replacing a couple of damaged floorboards in my house. Their work is meticulous and we are super happy with the outcome, which is a perfect match to the existing floor and meant we did not need to rip everything up and start over. Super nice guys too. Highly recommended!”

3. Right Floorings London Ltd
Address: 160 Horn Ln
Phone: +44 20 8992 9200
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 6 PM
- Saturday: 9 AM – 2:30 PM
- Sunday: Closed
One thing that really makes Right Floorings London Ltd stand out is its dust-free sanding system. They use the Bona Dust Containment System, which captures nearly all the dust, making the process much cleaner.
Their team consists of City & Guilds-qualified tradesmen, so they bring solid expertise to every job. We reviewed their previous work, and we saw that they are consistently high-quality. They seem to put the same level of care and attention into each one.
They offer a good selection of flooring options, including wood, carpet, and vinyl tiles. But what’s nice is that they don’t just install whatever you pick. They actually take the time to help you figure out what works best for your space.
Customers we spoke to also had great things to say about them. The team guided them through the whole process from choosing materials to installation. They even updated them regularly, ensuring they weren’t left in the dark throughout the process.
The only drawback we noticed is that their prices are a bit on the higher side compared to some other companies. But considering the quality of work and customer service, it seems like a fair trade-off.
They’re knowledgeable and everything they did for me was in my best interest
“A huge thanks to Richie for all the help we have had in getting our new home ready! Richie was very knowledgeable and understood what we wanted in terms or the colour/ texture and quality of the flooring and carpet we were after! They have so many options, but with his guidance and our vision Richie and the team gave us exactly what we wanted! I highly recommend Right Floorings they are knowledgeable and I felt like everything they did for me was in my best interest. One thing I can’t deal with is not being updated on the process and I can gladly say I was updated throughout the process and they made sure that I was happy. They have exceeded my high expectations with a precise and clean finish!!!”

4. Howard Naish Wooden Floors Ltd
Address: 61b Midmoor Rd
Phone: +44 20 3131 0122
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 8 AM – 5 PM
With over 20 years in the game, Howard Naish Wooden Floors Ltd brings a lot of experience to every job, and it shows.
When we scheduled for an undercover consultation, we appreciated their patience. Everything was thorough, and they answered each of our inquiries clearly.
People also keep mentioning their professionalism and how easy they are to work with. One customer mentioned that the workers kept an open mind when he made comments about their work and acknowledged it with a good attitude.
Sustainability is another big focus for them. They prioritise using sustainable materials, which is great if you’re looking for an option that’s a bit more eco-conscious.
We spoke to some customers and the reviews are mostly positive. One customer was blown away by how their old kitchen floor went from looking dark and worn to something that felt brand new. Another mentioned how their 20-year-old wooden floor was completely revived.
The only downside is that they focus solely on wood flooring. If you’re after tiles, vinyl, or carpet, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
The finish was excellent and it looks brand new
“Howard Naish did an amazing job at bringing to life our wooden floor which had been down for 20 years. The finish was excellent and it looks brand new. I am really pleased and Dean and his colleague were really professional and helpful.”
Lucy Barber, Google review
They gave good sound honest advice with no-nonsense
“We had our kitchen/dining room floor restored. The quotes were good; clear, straightforward – no hidden extras. They were flexible & accommodating, they gave good sound honest advice with no nonsense! The work itself was to a very high standard. The guys that did the work were really nice, professional & friendly. They were so good we had them back to restore the lounge floor a month later. Would recommend Howard Naish to anyone.”

5. A.H Peck Flooring Contractors
Address: 141 Lower Richmond Rd.
Phone: +44 20 8788 1795
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
- Saturday: 10 AM – 5 PM
- Sunday: Closed
Our team was impressed with A.H. Peck Flooring Contractors’s over 60 years of experience so we had to book a consultation with them.
During our talk, they really took the time to understand what we needed. They made sure the final results fit our space perfectly.
It’s also reassuring that the team has a deep knowledge of parquetry techniques, reclaimed wood, and luxury finishes. Their portfolio backed this up because all of them showed the quality of their work.
A lot of their customers appreciate how A.H. Peck can step in and fix problems mid-project. There have been cases where they’ve had to remove poorly installed flooring, lay down proper foundations, and then install high-quality wood floors that actually last.
They also work well under tight deadlines, which is a huge plus for anyone trying to get a project wrapped up on schedule.
It also helps that they have a showroom in Putney. It’s a great resource for anyone considering wood flooring. Plus, it gives customers a chance to see different timber options in person and get expert advice.
Their prices can be a bit expensive but it seems like they’re a go-to for anyone looking for expert flooring solutions.
Peck Flooring is an excellent high-quality flooring merchant and installer
“Peck Flooring is an excellent high-quality flooring merchant and installer. They were the installer of our award-winning house Kylemore, and have carried out many installations for our clients in Chelsea and Wimbledon. Thoroughly recommend Corey and his team.”
